Emergency Department Design will teach you the design and planning process so that you and other caregivers can make decisions about what's best for your department. Whether you're building a new department, remodeling an existing one, expanding, or simply adding a new service, the critical decisions you'll make must be based on an understanding of the design process. Time and time again, the best results are achieved when caregivers drive this process, working with design professionals to plan not just for today's patients, but also for those of the future. Read this book and learn how to: Assess your space needs Set physical design goals that meet operational outcomes Define the scope of your project Select a design professional Evaluate the "workability" of proposed design solutions ...and much more. You'll minimize the complexity of the challenge, reduce wasted time, and focus on creating a design that fulfills your vision of how emergency care should be provided. The author is Jon Huddy, AIA, with FreemanWhite, Inc., a nationally renowned architectural firm specializing in emergency department design. Mr. Huddy brings a passion for emergency department design, a commitment to include caregivers in the design process, and an entertaining, energetic presentation style to this book. Michael T. Rapp, MD, JD, FACEP, past president of ACEP, served as editor and contributed his insights in a special introductory chapter, "The Emergency Physician's Perspective." Plus, more than 20 other emergency care professionals and architects have contributed case studies and "pearls and pitfalls" from their own personal experiences with emergency department design projects.

Download or read book Emergency Care for Children written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-06-08 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children represent a special challenge for emergency care providers, because they have unique medical needs in comparison to adults. For decades, policy makers and providers have recognized the special needs of children, but the system has been slow to develop an adequate response to their needs. This is in part due to inadequacies within the broader emergency care system. Emergency Care for Children examines the challenges associated with the provision of emergency services to children and families and evaluates progress since the publication of the Institute of Medicine report Emergency Medical Services for Children (1993), the first comprehensive look at pediatric emergency care in the United States. This new book offers an analysis of: • The role of pediatric emergency services as an integrated component of the overall health system. • System-wide pediatric emergency care planning, preparedness, coordination, and funding. • Pediatric training in professional education. • Research in pediatric emergency care. Emergency Care for Children is one of three books in the Future of Emergency Care series. This book will be of particular interest to emergency health care providers, professional organizations, and policy makers looking to address the pediatric deficiencies within their emergency care systems.

The wide range of issues covered includes: • The role and impact of the emergency department within the larger hospital and health care system. • Patient flow and information technology. • Workforce issues across multiple disciplines. • Patient safety and the quality and efficiency of emergency care services. • Basic, clinical, and health services research relevant to emergency care. • Special challenges of emergency care in rural settings. Hospital-Based Emergency Care is one of three books in the Future of Emergency Care series.

Download or read book Regionalizing Emergency Care written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During medical emergencies, hospital staff and emergency medical services (EMS) providers, can face barriers in delivering the fastest and best possible care. Overcrowded emergency rooms cannot care for patients as quickly as necessary, and some may divert ambulances and turn away new patients outright. In many states, ambulance staff lacks the means to determine which hospitals can provide the best care to a patient. Given this absence of knowledge, they bring patients to the closest hospital. In addition, because emergency service providers from different companies compete with each other for patients, and emergency care legislation varies from state to state, it is difficult to establish the necessary local, interstate, and national communication and collaboration to create a more efficient system. In 2006, the IOM recommended that the federal government implement a regionalized emergency care system to improve cooperation and overcome these challenges. In a regionalized system, local hospitals and EMS providers would coordinate their efforts so that patients would be brought to hospitals based on the hospitals' capacity and expertise to best meet patients' needs. In September 2009, three years after making these recommendations, the IOM held a workshop sponsored by the federal Emergency Care Coordination Center to assess the nation's progress toward regionalizing emergency care. The workshop brought together policymakers and stakeholders, including nurses, EMS personnel, hospital administrators, and others involved in emergency care. Participants identified successes and shortcomings in previous regionalization efforts; examined the many factors involved in successfully implementing regionalization; and discussed future challenges to regionalizing emergency care. This document summarizes the workshop.
